Refined dining
This delicate touch accompanies guests on their journey up to the eighth floor, where the Sofitel Lyon Bellecour houses one of Lyon’s finest restaurants, Les Trois Dômes. Here guests can enjoy breathtaking views in a refined environment, in a restaurant that has been awarded Michelin star status for the past 11 years. Chef Christian Lherm – in position since 2012 – offers a seasonal cuisine with a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. He enjoys cooking fresh, high-quality products, which his passion and savoir faire turns into savoury works of art.
The restaurant’s wine menu, which places special emphasis on regional varieties, has more than 450 wines on offer. This variety allows the sommelier to advise the best harmony between wines and dishes while respecting personal tastes. The pastry chef’s exquisite desserts contribute to making the excellent reputation of the restaurant’s cuisine.
On the ground floor, Le Silk Brasserie is the place to be for people who enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city. Between morning shopping and afternoon sightseeing, it is ideal to have a delicious lunch in a friendly and modern atmosphere. Chef Guichonnet offers a very fashionable ‘bistronomic’ cuisine, which combines simplicity and modernity, while the staff enjoys giving advice on which bottle of wine best goes with the chosen dishes. Homemade desserts are prepared every day by Les Trois Dômes’ pastry chef, including seasonal fruit tarts and typical French pastries.
All day long, the Light Bar, which is the Sofitel Lyon Bellecour’s Lobby Bar, welcomes business meetings or friends having tea. Sweet or savoury food is available for those wanting a quality quick bite. For those in search of a cup of tea or an aperitif, the Light Bar is the ideal place for a meeting in the town centre.
In the evening, the lounge bar Le Melhor – meaning ‘the best’ in the Lyonnais dialect – serves the city’s best cocktails in front of one of the most amazing views of Lyon and the Rhône river. The barmen mix their passion with their customer care to create dozens of new recipes on a frequent basis. The iPad menu offers more than 20 different cocktails, although the barmen are also fond of surprising the most adventurous taste buds by creating bespoke cocktails for those who can provide characteristics they like.
